We have technically improved the non-perturbative renormalization method, proposed by Martinelli et al., by using quark momentum sources and sinks. Composite two-fermion operators up to three derivatives have been measured for Wilson fermions and Sheikholeslami-Wohlert improved fermions in the quenched approximation. The calculations are performed in the Landau gauge on 16^3x32 lattices at beta = 6.0 for 3 kappa values in each case. The improved sources greatly decrease the statistical noise. We extract and discuss here renormalization factors for local operators and moments of the structure functions for Wilson fermions.

High luminosity accelerators have greatly increased the interest in semi-exclusive and exclusive reactions involving nucleons. The relevant theoretical information is contained in the nucleon wavefunction and can be parametrized by moments of the nucleon distribution amplitudes, which in turn are linked to matrix elements of local three-quark operators. These can be calculated from first principles in lattice QCD. Defining an RI-MOM renormalization scheme, we renormalize three-quark operators corresponding to low moments non-perturbatively and take special care of the operator mixing. After performing a scheme matching and a conversion of the renormalization scale we quote our final results in the MSbar scheme at mu=2 GeV.
We extend the position-space renormalization procedure, where renormalization factors are calculated from Greens functions in position space, by introducing a technique to take the average of Greens functions over spheres. In addition to reducing discretization errors, this technique enables the resulting position-space correlators to be evaluated at any physical distance, making them continuous functions similar to the $O(4)$-symmetric position-space Greens functions in the continuum theory but with a residual dependence on a regularization parameter, the lattice spacing $a$. We can then take the continuum limit of these renormalized quantities calculated at the same physical renormalization scale $|x|$ and investigate the resulting $|x|$-dependence to identify the appropriate renormalization window. As a numerical test of the spherical averaging technique, we determine the renormalized light and strange quark masses by renormalizing the scalar current. We see a substantial reduction of discretization effects on the scalar current correlator and an enhancement of the renormalization window. The numerical simulation is carried out with $2+1$-flavor domain-wall fermions at three lattice cutoffs in the range 1.79--3.15~GeV.
We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of three-quark operators, which appear in the low energy effective Lagrangian of the nucleon decay, for $O(a)$-improved quark action and gauge action including six-link loops. This calculation is required to predict the hadronic nucleon decay matrix elements in the continuum regularization scheme using lattice QCD. We present detailed numerical results of the one-loop coefficients for general values of the clover coefficients employing the several improved gauge actions in the Symanzik approach and in the Wilsons renormalization group approach. The magnitudes of the one-loop coefficients for the improved gauge actions show sizable reduction compared to those for the plaquette action.
We discuss a specific cut-off effect which appears in applying the non-perturbative RI/MOM scheme to compute the renormalization constants. To illustrate the problem a Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation is used, but the arguments are more general. We propose a simple modification of the method which gets rid of the corresponding discretization error. Applying this to full-QCD simulations done at a=0.13 fm with the Fixed Point action we find that the renormalization constants are strongly distorted by the artefacts discussed. We consider also the role of global gauge transformations, a freedom which still remains after the conventional gauge fixing procedure is applied.
In this paper, we examine the effect of nonzero quark masses on the renormalization of gauge-invariant nonlocal quark bilinear operators, including a finite-length Wilson line (called Wilson-line operators). These operators are relevant to the definition of parton quasi-distribution functions, the calculation on the lattice of which allows the direct nonperturbative study of the corresponding physical parton distribution functions. We present our perturbative calculations of the bare Greens functions, the renormalization factors in RI and MSbar schemes, as well as the conversion factors of these operators between the two renormalization schemes. Our computations have been performed in dimensional regularization at one-loop level, using massive quarks. The conversion factors can be used to convert the corresponding lattice nonperturbative results to the MSbar scheme, which is the most widely used renormalization scheme for the analysis of experimental data in high-energy physics. Also, our study is relevant for disentangling the additional operator mixing which occurs in the presence of nonzero quark masses, both on the lattice and in dimensional regularization.
